This was really an interesting survey where the beat the national average of 1802 gallons per day. My daily consumption was around 1470 gallons per day which is below the US average use, which is a definitely a positive news because I am following a sustainable path which would lead towards preserving and conservation of water for future. Virtual water is the amount of water which is embedded in the food products that we consume. This is the water which we intake but cannot see like other forms of water that we use for completing our daily life activities. Maximum amount of water consumption is mainly because of my shopping habits, diet and use of water in kitchen sink.
